What would be a good Harry Potter inspired quote to put on a wall in my language arts classroom?

I am decorating my classroom with some Harry Potter stuff. It is a 7th grade language arts class. I will have a section of a wall with harry potter decals/posters/etc. I wanted to come up with some sort of quote or saying that is Harry Potter inspired that falls along the lines of reading, grammar, or writing (like “fly into a good book”, I don’t like this one though, but you get the idea). Any suggestions?

  1. Maybe you could play around with the quote “The wand chooses the wizard.”

  2. Writing is the magic that makes books come to life

    Or

    Accio great books

    Hope this helps. If I think of anything else I’ll post.

  3. “I solemnly swear that I’m up to no good..”

  4. It takes much bravery to stand up to our enemies but we need as much bravery to stand up to our friends.

  5. Wit beyond measure is man’s greatest treasure

    You fail to recognize that it matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be

  6. If you go with “The wand chooses the wizard.” add a hyphen- and then ” -it’s not always clear why.”
    Ollivander said that and it’s a good choice and applicable to any witch or wizard so it’s nice to have.

    I also like “Wit beyond measure is man’s greatest treasure” which was on the ravenclaw diadem.

    “Fear of a name increases fear of the thing itself” – Albus Dumbledore

    “It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live” – Albus Dumbledore

    “You fail to recognize that it doesn’t matter what someone is born but what they grow up to be” – Albus Dumbledore.

    “It’s the unknown we fear when looking upon death and darkness. Nothing more” – Albus Dumbledore.

    “There are all kinds of courage. It takes a great deal of courage to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends”. Albus Dumbledore

    “Don’t count your owls before they are delivered.” – Albus Dumbledore

    “Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, and, above all, those who live without love. By returning, you may ensure that fewer souls are maimed, fewer families are torn apart. If that seems to you a worthy goal, then we say good-bye for the present.” – Albus Dumbledore

  7. “Fear of the name only increases fear of the thing itself.”
    – Dumbledore

    “To the well organized mind, death is but the next great adventure.”
    – Dumbledore (See Peter Pan: “To die will be an awf’lly big adventure”)

    “It is our choices … that show us who we truly are, far more than our abilities.”
    – Dumbledore

  8. Help will always be given to those who ask for it.

    I think that one is nice? Haha…

  9. “Wit beyond measure is man’s greatest treasure!” -Luna Lovegood

  10. “It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.” -Albus Dumbledore

    “Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.” -Albus Dumbledore

    “We must try not to sink beneath our anguish, Harry, but battle on.” -Albus Dumbledore

    Dumbledore just has the best quotes!

  11. Here are a couple

    In dreams we enter a world entirely are own

    Curiosity is not a sin…. But we should exercise caution with our curiosity… yes, indeed.

    Differences of habit and language are nothing at all if our aims are identical and our hearts are open.

    Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?

    It is a curious thing, Harry, but perhaps those who are best suited to power are those who have never sought it. Those who, like you, have leadership thrust upon them, and take up the mantle because they must, and find to their own surprise that they wear it well.

    It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live, remember that.

  12. “Help will always be given at Hogwarts [or in this classroom] to those who ask for it.”

    My favorite: “Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, when one only remembers to turn on the light.”

    P.S. I think it’s a great idea. ;)

  15. “Of course it’s happening inside your head Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?”

    “Mischief Managed.”

    “I solemnly swear that I am up to no good.”

    “Until the very end.”

    “Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home.”

    “Help will be given at Hogwarts to those who deserve it.”

    “Help will be given in Hogwarts to those who ask for it.”

  19. how about when Arther Weasly was telling Ginny at the end of her first year, “Never trust anything that can think for itself if you can’t see where it keeps it’s brain” well I’m not completely sure of the wording!!!
    and this one was said by J.K “I don’t believe in the kind of magic in my books. But I do believe something very magical can happen when you read a good book.”
    and there is this one when Snape was explaining to Harry about Occlumency “The mind is not a book, to be opened at will and examined at leisure. Thoughts are not etched on the inside of skulls, to be perused by an invader. The mind is a complex and many-layered thing.”
    also said by J.k “Books are like mirrors: if a fool looks in, you cannot expect a genius to look out.”
    and the one at the end of the trio’s first year Hermione told Harry “Books! And cleverness! There are more important things – friendship and bravery and – oh Harry – be careful!”
    or the writing on Ravenclaw’s diadem “Wit beyond measure is a man’s greatest treasure.”
    hope that helped ^_^

  20. Of Course It’s Happening in Your Head, But Why on Earth Should That Mean It’s Not Real?

    I can not imagine a better way to some up the beauty of reading than this quote.
